Fishing Report from Situk River Alaska May 30th, 2017

The steelhead have now gone and early sockeye are showing up in good numbers. The river water levels are going down and the Sockeye are stacking up below the Weir. There are no fisherman on the river this time of year, so it makes for a great experience with no crowds.

The weather in the Yakutat area this time of year is usually mild and water heights are perfect for wading as well as drifting.

Limits of Sockeye are happening daily on the guide boats, and the amount of fish entering the system now shows that the numbers should be high for the season.
